Slobudo Town.

The demon lord with a body as slender as a lizard stood on the altar, his dark red scales reflecting a faint luster, flashing with an eerie color.

Demogorgon's body was as curved as a snake and as strong as an ape.

Two baboon heads squinted at its clumsy shoulders with two long arms and twisting tentacles. The uncontrollable killing and resentment made it hideous and terrifying.

With a shocking and terrifying roar.

In the surrounding void, faint scarlet shadows constantly emerged from the broken corpses of the Kuo Tao fish and the Ixi manta, frantically integrating into his body.

These scarlet phantoms look hideous and terrifying, screaming silently. They seem to be the huge energy condensed from fear, hatred and other negative emotions after the death of every intelligent creature.

"He is collecting the soul power of dead mortals in an attempt to increase his own power." The Mind Flayer Lich calmly described this situation.

"We can't delay any longer." The gray dwarf carrying the pickaxe whispered, "take action as soon as possible while he is still weak, otherwise we will be in trouble."

"Get ready to do it!"

The Mind Flayer Lich carefully opened his spell book, and a force field intertwined with arcane and psychic powers emerged. Others also took out their staffs and weapons with solemn expressions.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Brian didn't go far.

Together with Hesiah, he hid in the shadow of a collapsed stalactite pillar from a distance, avoiding the melee between the Kuo-toa fishmen and the Ixi rays, and checking the battle situation ahead.

Regarding the people of the Shining Society, from his limited knowledge, he only knew that their main purpose was to solve various strange phenomena that appeared in the Underdark, and they belonged to the absolutely neutral camp.

He also knew that the leader of the legendary team, the Mind Flayer Lich, was named Grazlax. He was a legendary Lich with both a psion and a wizard level reaching level 20 or above.

A race that specializes in psychic powers was transformed into a lich. This weird species did not surprise Brian at all.

After all, there is a lost city in the Underdark, Elianto, a mind flayer city ruled by the elder mastermind Lich Iolum.

Iorum, once the greatest great arcanist in Netheril, had almost defeated the mind flayers.

There, you can easily see all kinds of mind flayer lichs.

Of course, their strength is also uneven, and it is even difficult to reach the paragon level.

Therefore, the mind flayer lich is not a rare and strange species to Brian.

In fact, the thing that really made him unbelievable was the Mind Flayer Paladin.

Due to the mind flayer's unique reproduction method, they must capture medium-sized humanoid creatures, inject a tadpole-like parasite into the captive's brain, occupy the body's thoughts, and eventually transform into a new mind flayer.

It is said that the mind flayer paladin was born because the mind flayer captured a paladin, and then successfully parasitized the tadpole, and transformed it into a mind flayer naturally.

Who would have thought that at this time, the paladin's own mind suddenly woke up, reoccupied the mind flayer's consciousness, and took control of the body.

Just like this, by chance, this unlucky and lucky guy became a mind flayer paladin in the true sense.

Feeling the energy fluctuations in the air, he no longer thought about it, but looked at the battlefield ahead.

He could clearly feel that as the legendary team approached, the bloodlust and madness burning in the blood-red eyes of the demon lord Demogorgon began to be gradually replaced by reason.

This could not help but confirm his suspicion.

At this moment, the Kuo Tao fishman priest in the legendary team took the lead.

He took out the casting materials: a beholder's eyeball, threw it into the air, raised the magic weapon similar to a pincer staff in his hand, and pointed it at the demon lord Demogorgon instantly.

——"Advanced Dispel Magic!"

——"Glorious condemnation!"

Two divine spells were thrown by the fishman priest, and the eyes of the beholder thrown in the air suddenly burst out with a brilliant and colorful light, covering the demon lord's body.

The spiritual light shattered one after another, and Demogorgon's body was frozen on the spot for an instant.

Obviously, as a group of top spellcasters, when faced with a battle involving the demon lord's incarnation with quasi-divine power, they did not want to directly cast offensive spells, but focused on controlling and dispelling them.

After all, demons with god-like powers usually have frighteningly high magic resistance, and can even be immune to most low-level spells.

In this case, the most effective tactic is to remove all defensive spells and blessing spells from the opponent.

"Even if you can break through the demon lord's defense and temporarily control him by relying only on "Advanced Dispelling Magic" and the seven-ring divine spell "Glorious Condemnation", it may not be that easy."

Brian observed the fighting situation ahead with great interest, as if he was involved in the battle. He nodded secretly and whispered to himself, "With Demogorgon's current state, they need at least another disintegration technique.

magic."

The sword mage on the side has long been immune to his shocking words from time to time.

But when she heard that Brian could analyze the situation in front of her in a decent manner, she couldn't help but look at him in surprise and cast her beautiful silver-gray eyes on him.

For some reason, when Hesiah looked at his focused expression and eyes full of wisdom, he felt a beating heart for no reason.

Brian's eyes have always been on the Mind Flayer Lich, because high-end battles always require a legendary magician to take over.

First of all, the survivability of the legendary wizards is strong enough. With the chain triggering technique blessed by them, there is no need to worry about being suddenly killed by the demon lord. Secondly, their deterrence will also make any opponent afraid.

If a battle of this level were to be fought by a legendary master, even if he did nothing, the demon lord would feel helpless.

This is something that divine spellcasters cannot do. Although they have the ability to cast spells, once they reach the realm of laws at legendary level or above, they will be completely left behind by wizards.

He saw four tentacles made of translucent energy suddenly emerge from the Mind Flayer Lich's hood.

These twisting tentacles, following his whisper, danced swiftly and swiftly in magical gestures.

"Advanced Spellcasting Feat!"

Brian guessed the ability that the opponent had mastered, and at the same time, he was secretly depressed that he had been casting spells for so long, but he still hadn't automatically understood the prerequisite "Skilled Spellcasting" of the advanced skillful spellcasting feat.

——"Mordenkainen's Disintegration!"

——"Ectoplasm creeping tentacles!"

At this moment, the pale will-o'-the-wisp hidden in the eyes of the Mind Flayer Lich suddenly turned bright red, like the brightest star ruby.

As he opened the spell book and chanted an obscure incantation, a terrifying ray shot out from the sound of the incantation.

Demon Lord Demogorgon roared in anger, countless radiances flew from his body, layer after layer of defense was peeled off, and obvious cracks appeared on his bloody scales.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The sound, like burning firewood, echoed in the huge cave one after another.

At this time, the demon lord was like a fish that was forced to the ground, and someone used a sharp knife to frantically scrape the tight and strong scales on the body.

As the layers of scales exploded and shattered, in a short moment, it was stripped of its 'clothes' by the "Mordenkainen Disintegration Technique", and its whole body became bloody and bloody, with blood pouring down like rain.

Mordenkainen's Disintegration, also known as the Great Bankruptcy.

It is the kind of nine-ring spell that only wizards who are very good at protection and force fields can master.

Because, when this spell is cast, all magic and magic items in the area will be disintegrated, except for items carried or touched by the caster.

Disintegration is when a spell is broken into its individual components, destroyed as if by the effects of a dispel magic spell. Permanent and enchanted magic items must succeed on a saving throw, and a creature must succeed on a saving throw vs. spell when cast on a creature. Otherwise,

Requires a saving throw against dispelling magic, otherwise it is forcibly reverted to a normal item.

Even artifacts and relics are affected by Mordenkainen's Disintegration, although there is only a 1% chance per caster level that such a powerful item can be affected.

Therefore, when Mordenkainen's Disintegration is cast, the victim carries with him all potions, scrolls, rings, scepters, wondrous items, artifacts and relics, weapons and armor, swords, and weapons of all kinds.

will lose their magical abilities.

For a well-equipped professional, this is no different than bankruptcy.

at the same time.

The huge and terrifying solid ectoplasm energy penetrates into the material world from the shining silver vortex of the 'star realm'.

These shimmering ectoplasmic energy turned into a dozen translucent tentacles twisting like giant pythons, and once again tightly wrapped the demon lord who had just resumed action, suddenly tightened, and flew high into the sky, making him weightless.

The ground is floating.

"This should be a spiritual power he created himself."

Brian nodded thoughtfully. As a creative psychic, he could clearly feel that the function of these tentacles was not just simple control.

Because he had discovered that countless dust-like ectoplasm fragments were being continuously injected into the demon lord's bloody wounds, gradually weakening the strength of his struggle.

"roar!!!"

Unable to break free, the demon lord roared. Under the entanglement of the ectoplasmic tentacles, his body became ethereal and physical, and his face was twisted and ferocious, full of emotions of hatred, disgust, and anger.

——"blasphemous language!"

Pieces of ancient and powerful demonic words were muttered from Demogorgon's two heads at the same time, and his whole body was suddenly filled with terrifying sounds of chaos, killing, hatred, pain and other negative feelings.

These sounds centered on Himself and spread out, like the high-decibel sound on a square dance, to the entire town.

Suddenly, many Kuo Tao fish and Ixi rays who had managed to escape fell into complete madness, screaming like irrational beasts.

While dancing a weird dance, they rushed towards the five members of the legendary team.

Brian, who was watching the battle from a distance, also felt his whole body shake, and an inexplicable palpitating force began to affect his mind.

Although the demonic words of the demon lord seemed to have no meaning, they contained the most evil and chaotic energy, causing the surrounding darkness to boil and even causing different scenes to appear in the void.

He quickly regained his composure, activated his "mind blank" ability, cleared all his messy emotions, and calmly fought against this terrifying devil's words.

As the vomiting tunnels from the bottomless abyss, blood shoals, saltwater swamps, wailing jungles, rotting plains, screaming springs, and other evil abyssal planes appeared before my eyes, one after another.

Brian felt his soul and brain buzzing, as if someone had hit him hard with a giant hammer. All kinds of negative emotions and bloodthirsty desires spewed out, and the "Protection from Evil" blessing around him also flickered frequently.

, as if it would break at any time.

Rows of immunity data appeared in his retina like a programmer's code:

Suffering from "blasphemy"!

Will saving throw in progress...

...Will save successful...You successfully save against the painful effects of "blasphemous words"

...Will save successful...You successfully save against the debilitating effects of "blasphemous words"

...Will save successful... You successfully save against the paralysis effect of "blasphemous words"

...Will save successful...You successfully save against the paralyzing effect of "blasphemous words"

...Will save successful...You successfully save against the stun effect of "blasphemous words"

...Will save successful...You successfully save against the instant death effect of "blasphemous words"

…………

Crystal clear beads of sweat overflowed from Brian's forehead and slid down his cheeks to the ground.

When he noticed that the ancient demonic words echoing in his ears had finally disappeared, he knew that he had successfully withstood all the negative effects of the "blasphemous words".

He turned to look at Hesiah, who was safe and sound, and saw her worried eyes.

Being cared about made him feel warm for no reason, and he immediately smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Obviously, they were only accidentally affected, and because of the distance, Demogorgon's "blasphemous words" had already been greatly weakened when they reached them.

Then, he immediately looked towards the battlefield ahead.

It can be seen that the "blasphemous words" released by the demon lord who was beaten by the group were not directed at the legendary team, but at the many Kuo-Toa fish and Ixi rays.

At this moment, densely packed Kuo-Toa people surged towards these five people, and they were really in a hurry as they were not prepared to kill them.

"Use the Purifying Arrow!" The Mind Flayer Lich calmly made what he thought was the most correct judgment.

The Kuo-Toa priest took out a shimmering green oak seed with a solemn expression and solemnly handed it to the troglodyte ranger beside him.

"Hiss, hiss..."

The troglodyte ranger took out the long bow behind him, drew out a silver arrow, and inserted the seed into the arrow.

When the troglodyte ranger drew the long bow into the full moon, Brian saw that the oak seeds on the arrow suddenly became green and vigorous, and even the surrounding space seemed to be completely blurred, presenting a natural and harmonious world.

The crazy Kuo Tao fish and Ixi rays around were stunned by the green light, and their frantic eyes gradually regained their composure and dispersed.

These surviving Kuo Tao fish and Ixi manta rays each found their own opponents, and they caught each other and started fighting.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the dull reverberation of the bowstring, a stream of light green light accurately hit the demon lord's body with the gestation, growth, prosperity, decline and death of life.

"It turned out to be priests and rangers who believed in the God of Nature."

Feeling the rich natural atmosphere, Brian murmured to himself: "No wonder you can use an oak seed to mobilize such powerful purifying energy."

"ah!!!"

The moment the green sharp arrow hit the demon lord, he let out a loud scream.

On his bloody body, light green branches sprouted out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On its arms, on the two baboon heads, and even in the eyes that were constantly changing with evil, there were also strong buds growing out, binding him in mid-air like a rice dumpling, and standing there like a target.

"Get ready to harvest!" the Mind Flayer Lich said quickly.

The Warcraft swordsman beside him, who had long been unable to hold himself back, pulled out the gray giant sword on his back.

"roar!"

A wild roar erupted that resounded throughout the cave.

The already extremely powerful body of the Warcraft man began to swell, instantly bursting through his cloth.

Along with the crackling sound, the terrifying muscles and ferocious veins on the dark blue skin of the Warcraft man quickly appeared, and the bones of the whole body also increased one by one, turning into a behemoth more than three meters high.

Brian looked at the Warcraft Juggernaut thoughtfully and discovered that his violent ability was born from the orc blood, and was not obtained through the ability of the berserker.

Warcraft are a variant of the orc race. They are stronger and smarter than ordinary orcs. In the eyes of the world, they are calm killers and servants of darkness.

Because of this, they are usually not trusted by orcs.

You can only form your own mercenary team or adventure group and work for the highest bidder.

If there is a suitable bounty, they will not hesitate to serve evil mages, fallen giants, or other evil beings, and will not be afraid to accept missions from elite warriors or stormtroopers.

Therefore, he was quite surprised to see a Warcraft swordmaster who had reached the legendary level.

——"Divine and clever!"

——"Shield of Order!"

The fishman priest blessed the body of the Warcraft swordmaster with two buffing spells in succession.

"Leave it to me!"

The Warcraft Sword Master looked at the demon lord's incarnation in mid-air with war-filled eyes, and couldn't help but joke: "Damn, this pose is so good, I can't help but want to hurry up."

I saw him quickly tightening his grip on the gray giant sword in his hand, and as the gray sword light swirled violently in the air, the Warcraft Sword Master enthusiastically and arrogantly rushed toward Demogorgon in the air, jumped up, and flew upwards.

——"Lift Qi and Slash!"

The gray giant sword erupted with a thick sword light and cut through the void, landed on the top of the demon lord's head, and struck hard on both of his heads.

"ah!"

With a flash of sword light, an illusory and ferocious crack appeared, and the demon lord let out a shrill wail.

The deep wound lay across Demogorgon's neck, tearing and cutting his flesh and bones, causing black corrosive blood to spurt out.

Unfortunately, his body was tightly entangled with ectoplasmic tentacles and vines, making it impossible to move at all.

With a sword slashed out, the Warcraft Sword Master did not look at the results of the battle, but turned around and retreated.

——"Soul Blade: Blade Storm!"

The gray dwarf, who had been waiting for a long time, threw the pickaxe in his hand high into the air, shouted lowly, and the trembling weapon suddenly turned into countless identical pickaxes, which surged towards the demon lord's body like a violent storm.

Countless pickaxes hit Demogorgon's body, turning into little bits of light and dissipating.

The demon lord burst out with a scream that shook the entire cave.

Although this attack did not leave any scars on his bloody body, the screams he made were more than ten times more powerful than before.

Duergar Soulknife.

Brian, who was watching the battle, recognized the opponent's identity.

Soul Bladers are also a type of psychic profession.

They believe that their thoughts are the most beautiful of all things and also the most deadly.

Based on this idea, and after special training, the soul blader learned to forge his own spiritual power into a glowing semi-solid spiritual energy sword.

Because of this, Soul Blader has become the profession closest to 'sword cultivator' in players' imagination.

At this moment, Brian finally saw the Mind Flayer Lich he had been secretly observing taking action.

Without hesitation, he stood up from the bunker and approached the mind flayer lich.

Hesiah on the side couldn't understand his actions and finally followed him.

——"Legendary Spell: Collapse Singularity!"

The moment he approached the lich, an unimaginable energy burst out.

The void where the demon lord Demogorgon was, under the guidance of this terrifying energy, suddenly collapsed and shattered, and a bottomless crack in the void appeared, pouring out surging power of death, one after another towards his body.

The body rushes away.

"Mortals... you will pay the price!" The demon lord obviously felt the power that frightened him, and threatened viciously.

Under the threat of death, Demogorgon's body burst out with terrifying abyss energy, breaking free from the shackles of vines and ectoplasmic energy.

He raised his two heads, and a roar that seemed to have lasted for thousands of years rolled out from the depths of his throat.

The terrifying pressure of god-like power spread instantly, causing the five members of the legendary team to resist with difficulty, but in the end they were still thrown away by this violent storm of energy.

Only the mind flayer lich still persists in guiding his legendary magic.

"Pa bang bang..."

The violent energy raged, causing the bone fragments on his gray robe to rattle like blinds.

"Crack!"

As the bone fragments broke one after another, colorful protective spells were triggered, and energy barriers flashed around him one after another.

——"Supernatural ability: Summon demons!"

Seeing that his angry blow did not interrupt the Lich's spell, the demon lord's two heads changed color at the same time, and he quickly waved out his tentacles, and a dark black portal was torn open.

Groups of demons from the bottomless abyss surged out like a dam opening.

Various terrifying demons such as the Berserk Demon, the Bagula Demon, the Quasai Demon, and even a few six-armed snake demons rushed out of the portal and attacked the Mind Flayer Lich.

However, the moment they appeared, the Mind Flayer Lich's legendary spell was completed with his last whisper.

He gently stretched out his bone hand, and most of the demons, including the demon lord, were suddenly enveloped by the death energy descending from the depths of the cracks.

The powerful energy destroyed everything around it. The summoned demons were torn into pieces, and the corpses turned into grotesque dark energy and were thrown back into the bottomless abyss.

"Boom!"

The demon lord Demogorgon was also washed away by energy, causing a violent explosion and a shrill wail that disappeared in the blood mist.

"No, the demon lord is not dead. He should have used a secret method similar to disintegration to disappear." Seeing this situation, Brian frowned and expressed his guess.

Suddenly, he felt the Book of the Forgotten that had been stored in his arms tremble slightly. He looked happy and quickly concentrated his thoughts to check the contents inside.

""Arcane Analysis" has been activated!"

"Making a Knowledge (Arcana) check on the legendary spell..."

"Verification passed!"

"The legendary spell "Collapse Singularity" was successfully collected!"

"Resolve this spell?"

…………

Brian simply chose no.

What a joke, legendary spells are not something he can master at this time.

However, this does not affect his free prostitution spell.

Then, he immediately checked the details of the legendary spell:

Collapsing Singularity (Legendary Spell)

Material Casting Components: A black hole of destruction, this sphere will be destroyed by the spell.

…………

After seeing the spell introduction, Brian finally understood why the demon lord summoned a group of abyss demons when he knew he could not escape.

Otherwise, without anyone else sharing the damage, these 1,000 points of damage would be enough to kill His incarnation on the spot.

This was the fundamental reason why he chose to watch this battle all the time.

In his opinion, a battle involving a legendary wizard would very likely see the emergence of a legendary spell, and he was just paying for a legendary spell for free.

After all, legendary spells already involve the field of laws. For every spellcaster, the cost and cost of studying a legendary spell are unimaginable.

Although their players have system assistance and can research legendary spells with less effort, the cost of each legendary spell starts at one million gold coins.

This allowed him to master a legendary spell before traveling through time.

"Walk!"

Having obtained what he wanted, Brian gave an instruction to Hesiah and immediately walked in the direction of the 'Mother of the Sea' altar.

Because the wealth of the dead high priest Pulu Puluping is still waiting for him to plunder.

Since he paid for a legendary spell from the Mind Flayer Lich in vain, he was not sure whether the other party could sense it, so naturally he chose not to communicate with them with a guilty conscience.

Moreover, with his senses, he could sense that Demogorgon's incarnation had not been driven back to the abyss.

Well, these guys are definitely busy tracking the demon lord at this moment, and there is no way they have time to chat with him.

What Brian didn't know was that the Mind Flayer Lich in the distance had been watching the two disappear before retracting the pale will-o'-the-wisp in its eyes.

"It's strange." The wizard muttered to himself in confusion.

Just when he released the legendary spell, he vaguely noticed that he was being stared at by a strange energy.

It felt like he was clearly wearing clothes, but in the other person's eyes it looked like he was completely naked.

Although his frame was nothing to look at, he just felt very uncomfortable and even had a hairy feeling in his heart.

What surprised him most was that the half-elf also practiced both psychic and arcane arts.

His psychic fluctuations are different from those of the Mind Flayers, and more like they come from other distant worlds.

"Have you found it?"

The Mind Flayer Lich no longer thought about this problem, looked at the gray dwarf who was sensing energy fluctuations with his eyes closed, and said:

"I have told you a long time ago that Demogorgon is one of the three giants of the abyss. He is different from the ordinary demon lords. We must not be careless because of this. We should arrange a dimensional sealing circle in advance. Now, in order to save trouble,

, finally let him go, and now we have to trace his traces again in the dark area..."

"Grazlax, can you shut up first! You didn't see that I was sensing His aura. You kept nagging me, asking me how to concentrate." The gray dwarf opened his eyes and looked at the heart-stealing man.

The demon lich cursed in a low and hoarse voice.

"..." The Lich quickly shut up, and the translucent tentacles made of energy in his hood disappeared.

"Found it, he escaped to the Great Killing Field in the Insect-Entered Mystery Realm."

The gray dwarf opened his eyes and said to the Mind Flayer Lich, "The radiation from the earth's veins in the Great Crash Field is too strong, so you need to build an accurate teleportation circle."

"No problem." Lich quickly took out a lot of materials and began to carve a magic circle on the ground.

"Damn it, it's a bug-ridden world again. What I hate most are bugs, especially purple bugs." The gray dwarf said with a look of disgust on his shoulder, holding a pickaxe.

"Last time when I was sleeping, I was actually swallowed by a purple worm. It made me so sick. It's all because Bragg snored too loudly when he was sleeping."

"Hiss..." The troglodyte ranger stuck out his scarlet tongue and turned his head to the side in embarrassment.

"The fart was obviously when you were sleeping, so you have to change it..." the Warcraft Sword Master argued without showing any signs of weakness.

"Alas! How can I arrange the magic circle with peace of mind when you are arguing like this?" The Mind Flayer Lich looked at the two of them helplessly, "If this happens again, the transmission will go wrong. Don't blame me."

The Warcraft man seemed to have thought of something terrible, so he quickly shut up and stopped making any sound.

"Okay, let's go." After a while, the Mind Flayer Lich activated the magic circle on the ground and said to everyone.

"Oh, by the way, I just saw a lone six-armed snake demon that hasn't been killed yet. He must have gone deeper into the town now." The Warcraft man glanced at the Kuo-Tao fish man and whispered.

"You damn thing saw it, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Hearing this, the Kuo Tao fishman priest's silver skin turned red with anger, and he glared at the Warcraft man.

"I forgot..." The Warcraft man's eyes shrank in fear and he immediately pulled out his weapon, "I'm going to deal with it right now."

"Forget it, time waits for no one. If it's too late, it will be troublesome for Demogorgon's incarnation to be hidden. That six-armed snake demon... should be regarded as a gift to that half-elf."

The Mind Flayer Lich said in a playful tone, "Although I lost nothing, I can feel that this kid must have stolen some benefit from me, so I should teach him a lesson."
Chapter completed!
